Bumper ID?
Anyone have any idea who may have made this bumper? Its odd since it has no step on the back. Not sure what is was originally designed for. Was going to replace with chrome but may just keep it. Cant decide

Here in LA LA Land, the Fey Bumper Co. was the largest supplier, gave dealer a rack that would hold 8 different bumpers.
Some dealers put this rack in their showrooms, so customers could choose the bumper they liked. These bumpers were very heavy, the brackets were welded to the bumper.
This pictured "gypo" bumper has no protection for the tailgate. I'd replace the puppy w/a contour bumper or a used 'genuine Ford' step bumper from a 1968/72 F100/350.

^ C4TZ-9940700-A .. Styleside Tailgate / Obsolete/Replaced/Obsolete
1964/66 F100/250 2WD // 1966 F100 4WD
September 1966, Ford obsoleted this tailgate, replaced it with the 1967 (1967/72 - C7TZ-9940700-A) F100/350 tailgate for use as a "service part replacement."
All the individual parts for the C7TZ tailgate are exactly the same as the C4TZ tailgate, but the C7TZ tailgate looks slightly different.
Has different shaped FORD letters that are surrounded by a raised ovate scallop line. Because of this FoMoCo idiotic replacement crapola, the 1964/66 tailgate is very hard to find.
The C7TZ tailgate is also obsolete, but is much easier to find than the original.
